It shouldn't hurt, but I wouldn't expect it to help either. Cat 6 consists of twisted pairs used for differential signalling, and it's specifically optimized for cross-talk rejection. But DSL uses a single wire, which explains why sometimes a copper pair will support DSL even though it fails to support POTS. So CAT 5, CAT 6, doesn't mean squat for DSL.

A while back we cancelled our 2nd phone line that had been dedicated to our house alarm. I moved the alarm phone bypass over to our primary phone line at the time and I found it drastically reduced the internet performance speed wise. Not really a surprise because it added a round trip line across the house to the alarm box and back to the phone access box on the side of the house and it went through the interrupt circuit/relay. At the time I just found an unused pair of wires in the house phone wiring and ran the jack to the modem directly to the incoming phone line from the street, bypassing the alarm completely. This brought the speed back up to I guess where it had been before.
We are doing major rewiring in our house and I've pulled nearly 1,000 feet of Cat 6. I wanted to run a completely dedicated new piece of wire for the dsl modem to hopefully get even better performance out of my meager DSL speed. Does anyone have an opinion on whether running a home run line from my DSL modem to the phone box to connect directly to the outside line with Cat 6 will make a difference. I've run the line already just curious if my thoughts have any merit. I don't think it can hurt.
